Support East Tennessee!
We work on a variety of conservation issues that are local, state-wide, and national in scope. Our initiatives range from the nationwide Beyond Coal Campaign that promotes using clean, renewable energy vs. fossil fuels, to stopping mountain top removal coal mining, to local support for expanding Knoxville's greenways, to helping elect environmentally responsible candidates at the local, state and national level, to getting the Little Tennessee River Watershed designated as a native fish conservancy area - and more.
